what are the work force in the industry.
Firm just hire anyone. Dont join this industry!

WHat is the obsession with all these qualifications and memberships here?

Bros, adding more alphabet soup to your name isn't going to increase your pay or improve your chance of becoming partner. This isn't like medicine where obtaining postgrad degrees and becoming specialists, will vastly increase doctor's earning potential

Low pay means low pay. The quickest way to increase your pay, is to leave this sweatshop industry

What about those people who wants to register as public accountant?

An applicant for registration as a public accountant must be a member of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants who has been conferred with the Chartered Accountant of Singapore (CA (Singapore)) designation.

I feel like these days, unless you're staying till manager level, no point getting the quals since hiring managers don't care. If you're a manager then they expect you to have it since they will expect you to be technically strong in the standards.
